The Ivory Education Institute (IEI) is a nonprofit public benefit association based in Los Angeles, dedicated to promoting the historical, practical, and cultural significance of ivory. Through research, outreach, and various publications, IEI seeks to enhance understanding of ivory's contributions to society while advocating against what it perceives as unreasonable restrictions on its trade and movement. IEI addresses complex issues surrounding wildlife conservation and cultural heritage, asserting that Western perspectives often misrepresent the relationship between African communities and ivory. The institute collaborates with various supporting organizations to navigate the challenges posed by evolving regulations and societal attitudes towards ivory. Generated from the website
